09 — Wardley maps

Summary

The pack’s argument mapped, in mermaid’s wardley-beta diagram type — the estate’s first use of it, so the maps live in the source and are reviewable in a diff. The verifier’s question (all the novelty is in four schema objects; everything under them is commodity); why a rented agent cannot prove where it ran (its chain terminates in a component that is commodity and worthless as evidence); the shipped surface and its two absences (not underneath it — on top of it, in Genesis); what a badge is made of; a policy verdict that cannot be more solid than a badge two layers down; and the build order as a march right-to-left. Each map states its claim, what would move it, and where the site agent’s own confidence is thinnest.

Key concepts

• W2 — the missing anchor — the two-populations thesis in one picture, falsifiable per vendor
• W3 — the two absences, positioned — no revocation and no directory, drawn as the cost that sentence carries
• The working grammar — four wardley-beta constraints found by running the parser, recorded so the next author doesn’t

Key ideas

• Positions are judgements, not measurements — published to be moved, with the thinnest ones named.
• This pack is not building infrastructure: it is composing commodity components into four objects and one badge.
• sgit.ai’s own maps are inline SVG; mermaid has since shipped Wardley as a diagram type, and text-in-the-repo maps are correctable in a pull request.
